Which freezes faster cold warm or hot water?

The tomato would rot faster in warm water because, when you put a tomato in cold temperature ex: refrigerator the tomato does not rot and it stays good for a long period of time, now if you put the tomato in warm temperature or room temperature for instance, the tomato has more chance of rotting than in cold temperature so the tomato rots faster in warm water.


Why do some candles burn down so quickly?

A candle will burn faster at room temp. Candels burn by means of the wick effect. The energy from the flam heats the wax beneath the wick ( by way of convection threw the wick and by luminescent radiation , causing it to melt then asend threw the wick, ( eventually having enough heat to evaporate buy the time it reaches the top of the wick) It then burns as a vapor when mixed with oxgene much like gasoline, the melting and vaporisation points vary depending on the type of wax used, but ultimitly the warmer the candel to begin with the faster it will burn.
